Given:

Three people went to dinner and spent $45 with a coupon for 10% off.

Determine the cost without the coupon.

Solution:

In order to determine the cost without coupon, we can assign a value whereas if we subtract its 10% the answer will be 45. In this case the value closest to 45 is 50. 

= $50(10/100)

= $5

= $50 - $5

= $45

Final answer: 

$50
